A cargo van—essentially a type of light truck—is an easy-to-rent option many of our customers just love. Recently some young business owners rented a cargo van at Via Route Car and Truck Rentals to move their graphic design studio. We caught up with them during our customer satisfaction survey.

“Not only did we manage to do the move in a single trip, but it was easy to fit the chairs, drafting tables, computers, electronics, and even the photocopier, with the van we got from Via Route.

“I’m not much of a driver, so I really appreciated how our van handled. Especially in town. It didn’t feel like I was driving a big truck, which makes all the difference when you’re threading your way through city traffic. I actually had fun driving this type of vehicle!”

We at Via Route have developed a variety of custom cargo van packages in response to what our customers have been telling us. That means you can now rent your van with packages like unlimited kilometres, by the hour, one-way, urban-only or rural-only, or long-distance travel.

For your custom package, just call 1-844-842-7688 or book online at viaroute.com.

And it doesn’t hurt our cargo vans’ popularity that we now offer a number of rental packages to fit your particular needs. Many customers, for example, are looking for one-way rentals so they can drop their vehicle off at a different branch than the one they got it from. So we’ve made that option available.

Another story from our survey—you’ve probably heard of this kind of thing before: Person A offered to give friend B their old couch, but only if B could come and pick it up. What to do? With a cargo van rented by the hour—problem solved!

Let’s take a closer look at the specs for GMC’s cargo van. The two seats with armrests are comfortable for long distances. The transmission is automatic for easy, stress-free driving.

Cargo vans give you big door openings and lots of storage capacity. You’ll be amazed at how much you can fit in it and how easy it is to load boxes and other items of various shapes and sizes. Here are the basic dimensions:

The right-side doors, too, can really come in handy in town when you’re loading off the sidewalk. Check out these generous side-door dimensions:

You can see we’re not kidding around when we say this is a handy van. There are plenty of slots for attaching ropes and straps to keep items from sliding around. Tire change equipment is also out where you can see it, just in case.
